When I speak of Gun Control, I don't mean the restriction of weapons all over, just the ability to gain them legally and what kinds of guns are allowed needs to be changed.

If someone had a gun in that night club they could have saved 50 lives.

No, I don't expect people to carry """"assault weapons"""" with them in their every day lives, but you can imagine a situation where it is necessary to have something more powerful than a handgun.

(And actually just so you know, in the US handguns kill 20x more people than rifles do - and that's even ignoring that an """"assault weapon"""" is just one type of rifle. What's more there is 0 evidence that a gun ban would actually reduce gun crime at all in the first place, in Australia it did absolutely nothing, in the UK gun crime actually doubled after the ban whilst in the same period gun crime in the US decreased!)
